Before moving things I'd try running Disk Cleanup as administrator (right-click and run as admin). You'd be amazed at the huge amount of space it can recover. Nelviticus

Yes you need a network connection. Here are some instructions from a Stack Overflow question: Open Hyper-V Manager Create a new internal virtual switch (e.g. "Internal Network Connection") Go to your Virtual Machine and create a new Network Adapter -> choose "Internal Network Connection" as...

Try \\DESKTOP-V2HF5HA\MySharedFolder rather than \\DESKTOP-V2HF5HA\C\MySharedFolder Nelviticus

Open Explorer in the guest and type \\HOSTNAME\SHARENAME in the address bar (replace HOSTNAME and SHARENAME with the actual names). Nelviticus

Can't see how a faulty PSU would make things run slowly, more likely things wouldn't run at all. I'd strip the machine down to the minimum components for it to power on - just the PSU, motherboard and CPU - then see whether it's still slow getting into the BIOS. If it is, the fault lies with a...

I only have access to Windows 10 Pro but that has the non-app version of the Remote Desktop Client preinstalled. If you open that and click the 'show options' button it'll reveal a bunch of extra settings plus 'save', 'save as' and 'open' buttons. You can save the whole config for a connection...

If you're talking about screen recording (i.e. some kind of video of your Remote Desktop or Teamviewer activity) then I very much doubt that any company would do this except in very specific circumstances, such as if they suspected that something illegal was going on. The cost of doing this...

This news might make you happy (or less unhappy): Windows 10 Creators Update Bringing Relaxed Reboot Options Nelviticus

I've googled around but can't find anything that even vaguely implies Microsoft have removed support from Windows 7 for any CPU that was previously supported. There are plenty of articles saying that Windows 7 drivers won't be written for new CPUs, but nothing about removing existing drivers...

Hyper-V has probably become enabled somehow. This often happens to me when I update Visual Studio. I'm not on a Windows 10 machine at the moment but it's somewhere under 'turn Windows features on or off'. Disable/uninstall Hyper-V, re-boot and you should find that VirtualBox works again...

Apparently from Vista onwards Windows itself no longer supports oversize desktops and panning. However, it's been a long time since I've seen a device with a lower vertical resolution than 768 pixels (which is still painfully low in my opinion) so it may well be that when you come to buy a new...

Nobody said anything about the images being 8GB in size on disk - the 8GB referred to is the amount of memory the machine has. In any case, images take up far less space on disk than they do in memory when you display/edit them. A 3.4MB JPEG file I have here takes 23.7MB of RAM to display...

If you have access to a Windows machine just use Microsoft's own media creation tool and save yourself a headache: Windows 10 media creation tool Nelviticus

Yeah, that page is quite bizarre as you can see the spare parts but there are no prices or any mechanism for ordering them (at least, not when viewed from the UK). I ended up going with the last link in my original post and it's working fine. Nelviticus

There are four 3TB drives installed and the device has two fans. Looks like I should go for the 12V/10A one then, which is great because it's a UK vendor so will arrive next day and cost a fraction of the price of shipping one from the US. My soldering skills are non-existent and I don't have a...

The power supply for my NAS (a Synology DS411j) has died and I'm looking to buy a replacement, but I can't figure out whether the ones offered by third-party vendors that are listed as 'compatible' are actually compatible. My dead power supply is marked as providing a DC output of 12V and 8.33A...

The nagging will (probably) stop in a couple of days anyway, as that's when the free upgrade to Windows 10 offer expires. Nelviticus

That isn't quite right: those are the default locations for the libraries, but other folders can be added too. If you navigate to one of your libraries then at the top left of the Explorer window under where it says (e.g.) 'Pictures library' will be the text 'Includes: 2 locations' (it may be...

I had a similar problem when I had a Logitech wireless mouse attached. The driver installs both a mouse device and a keyboard device; I had to turn off 'allow device to wake computer' for both of these. The following article is about Windows 7 and mentions powercfg, which I don't think works in...

Consider going with laptops; the price difference between them and desktops is much smaller nowadays. The staff here love the fact that they can take everything they've been working on along to a meeting. We also have things set up so that if you're outside our network they will transparently...
